Best parks to do AM EMH?

[mastermind307]

Park hours haven't been released for my dates yet, but trying to start planning and I'm wondering if certain parks are better to go to for morning EMH than others. We usually skip the parks that have EMH because we don't have hoppers. This time though we'll have 7 day park hoppers and I'm thinking about maybe going to the parks that have morning EMH to get some stuff done before crowds build and then leave.

Is it crazy to do morning EMH at each park? It seems like we'd be able to get a lot done by being there early. We are morning people and getting up at 6:00 is sleeping in. I'm only planning a couple of late evenings in the parks to watch the nighttime shows, so we wouldn't do early mornings following the late nights.

What time do the crowds start building? If we did the early hours, we'd leave around 11 (or schedule lunch around 11 and leave after), would that be a good plan? And then after a break, go to another park in the later afternoon/evening.

Planning this way is new to me. We had park hoppers on our first trip back in 2010, but only used them once so never bought them for the other trips until now.

If your family can handle it I would recommend as many EMH parks as you feel your family is capable of rope dropping. We can do 1 or 2 at the beginning but that's about it before we need a morning or 2 to sleep in.

I think the best 2 parks to do EMH (since you have park hoppers) are Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. At MK I would recommend heading towards Seven Dwarfs if you're there at RD then over to Space Mountain. At AK, if you have a FP for Pandora later in the day, I would head elsewhere in the park.

Epcot and DHS are still good to go as early as possible but I don't feel quite as 'necessary' to plan for EMH.

I used EMH early when it was first rolled out and thought it wasn't worth it. Two exceptions for me: During XMas and Easter week, when the parks are super crowded (and EMH is EARLY), EMH works nicely. Also, we used EMH to visit Pandora this past Summer (if I had gotten a FP for FoP I would have skipped EMH and just gone at opening on a non EMH day and visited Navi first).
